What do you think is best way to store herbs: freezing in baggies, freezing in ice cube trays w/water, or drying? This is my first year with herbs and I want to start harvesting. My winter soups and stews will be so good with my own herbs (I can hardly wait) - just need to know the best way to preserve them until then. Thanks, Dave |
Follow-Up Postings:
It really depends on the herb Dave. I freeze dill & basil in whole sprigs, wrapped well in both plastic wrap & foil, but also freeze pureed basil & basil pesto in cubes. I've gotten away from drying my own herbs over the years, just find freezing or buying fresh from the grocers during the non-growing season much better for my cooking. But that said, I do dry thyme, rosemary, & other Mediterranean herbs that tend to hold their flavor. |
First, I dry most of my herbs then freeze them to protect the freshness. I freeze them in double freezer bags. I raise most of my herbs and this system seems to work just fine for me. |

Basically, you'll end up doing it in your own way, depending on which herbs you want to store, and how you use them. Drying is suitable for most herbs (but not chives!), but if you have a lot to do, it can be messy around the house for a while. Freezing will usually give a better flavour - but maybe you have a ginormous freezer and don't want to be hunting around in it for small parcels while in the middle of preparing your dinner, and I don't recommend freezing if you keep your freezer a long way from the kitchen or if you have an unreliable source of electricity (perhaps a lot of blackouts due to storms?). I'm not so organised that I follow my own advice, but if you decide to freeze your herbs, do each one on a flat tray, then either bag it or put it into a small container. Then put all the herbs together, each packaged separately, into a larger container or a large sealable bag. This will make finding your herbs easier and quicker. For things like chopped parsley or chives, the ice cube method is very convenient - just the right amount for adding to your stews etc - but once they're frozen, bag them or put them into a suitable container. Small packages tend to get lost and forgotten even in a small freezer. (Ask me how I know!) Don't forget to label each container. Why not experiment by both freezing and drying your herbs, and see which you tend to reach for first? |

Most herbs I dry. The exceptions would be scallions and basil. The flavor is held much better if you freeze those. |

You'll have to figure out what works best for you. I don't have a lot of time to spend on this so here's my favorite way to dry curly parsley - every few weeks I snip some, put it on a paper plate and microwave for about 2 minutes. Let it cool and make sure it's dry. Then crumble it & put in a jar. It smells so much better than store-bought dried parley. |

Aquaponic Lynx LLC is an aquaponic farm growing Channel Catfish, Bluegill and mosquito fish as well as herbs, salad crops, edible flowers, edible water plants. We also sell live plants and seedlings grown on the farm. We also sell our lufa sponges and pasture raised Muscovy ducks.
We are constantly testing out new plants and ideas and are willing to try growing something new on request.
Since our systems are aquaponic, we have to be very careful about anything we use on our plants since toxic pesticides can kill our fish and bio-filters so we can't even use many of the "organic" pesticides. There is still as yet no "farming practice" listed that really fits for aquaponics though perhaps naturally grown and integrated pest management are close. My birds are pastured.
Currently offering Monthly farm tours, First Sundays of the Month from 10-11:30 am, this is a great chance for Floridians to see Aquaponics in action while picking fresh produce. Lettuce, Basil, Parsley, edible flowers, Lufa sponges, aloe plants, worm castings, and aerated worm casting tea (bring your own gallon jug) currently available. Bring your own ice and Ice chest if you are interested in fresh channel catfish whole on ice only. Please contact me before showing up at the farm.

When Maps & Atlases dropped Perch Patchwork, their 2010 debut full-length and first album for Barsuk Records, the Chicago-based quartet was just beginning to explore the intersection of their adoration of Post-Punk Math heroes like Don Caballero and their father-tilted love of '70s Prog avatars like Jethro Tull and Mahavishnu Orchestra. M&A's introductory EPs — 2006's Tree, Swallows, Houses and 2008's You and Me and the Mountain — found the band pursuing a more Folk-tinged flavor, but Perch Patchwork was an expansive yet subtle attempt to utilize the totality of the band's creative building blocks. That exploration paid huge dividends as critics and fans alike were drawn to M&A's lo-fi sonic constructions and hi-fi orchestral ambitions.
Maps & Atlases' sophomore full length, Beware and Be Grateful, expands and refines the musical trail blazed on Perch Patchwork. In the album's formative stages, the band employed a collection of secondhand battery-powered keyboards to blueprint their textural arrangements and, although the keyboard sounds were largely excised for the final recording, they were vitally important in forcing M&A to rethink their creative process.
As a result, Beware and Be Grateful doesn't stray impossibly far from Perch Patchwork but it definitely advances the band's flag a little further up the hill, exhibiting a forceful Math Pop sound that shimmers and shakes with an exuberant authority. The album's opening track, "Old & Gray," begins like Talking Heads tributing Paul Simon's Graceland and finishes like Brian Eno producing Spoon. Similarly unexpected juxtapositions crash and meld into one another throughout the duration of Beware and Be Grateful.
Tribal choral melodies float above while the band skips and skates around a soundtrack that is equal measures of quirky Indie Rock ("Vampires") and blippy Electro Pop ("Silver Self"). There are still plenty of remnants of the band's organic approach to song construction but there are also many more examples of Maps & Atlases pushing themselves to think well beyond the natural box they fashioned on their earlier releases, blending their influences and experiences and evolving in fascinating new directions.
(Maps & Atlases perform July 15 at the inaugural Bunbury Music Festival along Cincinnati's riverfront.)
Tonight at The Drinkery on Main Street in Over-the-Rhine, excellent local Pop/Hip Hop/Rock crew Gold Shoes release its first long-player in conjunction with a free performance (the album is conveniently titled The Gold Shoes LP). The band was formed in 2009 and features MC vocals from rapper Buggs Tha Rocka (a great solo artist as well), Steven Shaefer on guitar/sax, Mike Weigand (keys), Kevin Johnson (bass), Tony Kuchma (drums/percussion) and singer/guitarist Archie Niebuhr. Gold Shoes has a magnetic, endearing sound that mixes Hip Hop and Rock with great hooks and touches of Jazz and Blues. Fun, cool stuff. You can purchase or give the album a preview spin online here.
Tonight's show starts at 9 p.m. and also features Vito Emmanuel, The Zoo Crew and DJ Sinceer.
Late last year, the band released the album's first single and video, "Trade Your Wings." More recently, they unveiled another great music video for the track "Barely Alive." Check 'em both out below.
When Joan Osborne vaulted into the public consciousness with Relish, her 1995 major label debut, she had already established a loyal fan base that was well aware of her estimable Jazz and Soul skills. With Soul Show in 1991 and the Blue Million Miles EP in 1993, Osborne displayed her smoldering vocal chops and her unerring ability to write to her own strengths as well as inhabit another writer's song (her take on Captain Beefheart's "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" was a marvel). Largely a collaboration with producer Rick Chertoff, Hooters frontmen Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman and Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas, Relish rightly pushed Osborne into Rock/Pop territory and the well-deserved spotlight, but it was only marginally indicative of her loves and influences.
For the past decade and a half, Osborne has made no secret of her musical passions as she's fleshed out her catalog with a string of soulful original albums, covers albums (2002's How Sweet It Is) and blends of the two (2007's excellent Breakfast in Bed).
With her latest, Bring It On Home, Osborne heads directly into the Blues/R&B camp with predictably great results, from the opening swing of Ray Charles' version of "I Don't Need No Doctor" and a blistering spin through "Roll Like a Big Wheel" from obscure Blues shaker Olive Brown to a down and dirty take on James Moore's iconic "Shake Your Hips" (nailed by the Stones on Exile on Main Street) and a shivering R&B tailfeather shake of Clarence Carter's "I'm Qualified."
As usual, Osborne's gift in covering other songwriters' works lies in her innate talent in melding the spirit and intent of the original song with her own singular approach to come up with a version that is both tribute and appropriate reinvention, and Bring It On Home finds Osborne at the peak of her abilities.
Margot and the Nuclear So and So's frontman Richard Edwards may be the most tenacious man in rock. In 2009, the band's Indianapolis home base was heavily damaged by fire, they were dropped by Epic after the controversy over Animal/Not Animal and the majority of the band quit.
That would have been the end of Margot for most guys, but Edwards resurrected his outfit with bassist Tyler Watkins and multi-instrumentalist Erik Kang and, with an impressive guest list, assembled and self-released 2010's spectacular Buzzard, a clattering bit of Indie Rock brilliance that diverged from Margot's early Chamber Pop explorations.
Last year, Edwards and a completely reconstituted MATNSAS generated their recording budget through the Pledge Music website and began tracking their fourth album, the noisily majestic Rot Gut, Domestic.
Much like Buzzard, Rot Gut seems more shambolic and scattered than it really is; like a pointilist painting, it pays to stand back in order to appreciate the work. On Rot Gut, Edwards and MATNSAS have crafted an amazing amalgam of Wilco's artful squall ("Disease and Tobacco Free," "Fisher of Men") and Ryan Adams' buzzy indie evocation of '70s Rock ("Books About Trains," "Arvydas Sabonis," "Ludlow Junk Hustle") while simultaneously managing to reference the atmospheric Pop that marked their first two albums. After 10 tracks of that, MATNSAS finish up with an amazing one-two punch; the dissonant and fuzzed out "The Devil" is followed, logically enough, by the exquisite balladry of "Christ," a Randy Newman-meets-Paul Westerberg piano-and-ethereal-frippery hymn ("Jesus breaks your heart every night when He doesn't come").
The scariest thing about Rot Gut, Domestic is that Richard Edwards and Margot and the Nuclear So and So's might have an even better album than this minor masterpiece in them.
Paul Weller has traveled a fascinating trend-bucking career arc since his debut with The Jam during Punk's heyday in the late '70s. When every other band was pursuing a gobsmacked, adrenaline-soaked and barely coherent version of Rock, Weller and The Jam were turning out their highly stylized spin on The Who's Mod period.
When The Jam's influence turned out pale imitators, Weller moved on to Style Council, a loungey R&B/Pop outfit that inspired a whole genre of similarly subdued purveyors. Weller's subsequent solo career has been a pastiche of Brit Folk flavored Baroque Rock flecked with bits of the sonic personae that he's championed over the past three decades, from the brilliant Traffic/Small Faces direction of his solo debut, 1992's Wild Wood, to the Soul reflection of 2002's Illumination to the edgy Punk Pop buzz of 2005's As Is Now.
It seems hard to imagine but Weller is on a hot streak at the back end of a 35-year career; 2008's 22 Dreams was on a fair number of critics' year-end lists and 2010's Wake Up the Nation was nominated for Britian's Mercury Music Prize. To his credit, Weller's approach to a new album resembles the first rule of Italian driving — what's behind you doesn't matter anymore.
So it is with his latest set, the diverse and energetic Sonik Kicks. The album lurches to life with the insistent and atmospheric "Green," a squalling, blipping gene splice of The Buzzcocks and Muse, which leads into the tropical Pop bounce of "The Attic" and Weller's Pop/Punk homage to Kurt Weill, the noisily melodic "Kling I Klang." Weller returns to his acoustic direction on the gentle (and gently orchestrated) "By the Waters," which he follows with "That Dangerous Age," a track that Peter Gabriel would be amazed to find had nothing to do with him, and the six-and-a-half minute smoky Pop/Soul workout of "Study in Blue," which deftly blends a lot of what has come before it.
Given the amazing breadth of Weller's creative palette, perhaps his consistent versatility shouldn't be such a surprise, but the incredible range and vitality of Sonik Kicks has the snap and spirit of an artist in the middle of his career, not nearing its 40th anniversary.
The air seems sweeter here in the front of the website, the sun a little brighter and the deadlines a little more immediate, but as Uncle Ben once reminded Peter Parker, with great power comes great responsibility. So here we are in relatively short order with a batch of new reviews and a few more older titles in my continuing quest to revisit the deserving releases from the not-so-waning months of 2011. We're getting there, slowly but surely. Read them while they're hot; there's more where they came from.
I'm still getting used to my new digs here at The Daily Beat as everyone rushes about, delivering their stories with right-this-minute immediacy and what not. Of course, with my continuing effort to bring you up to date on the reviews from last summer and fall that were missed for a variety of reasons, my breaking news has all the timeliness of "Bin Laden is dead!" and "I'm so happy for Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries — it's nice to see a celebrity couple in it for the long haul."
Luckily, the early weeks of this new year, with a couple of well-stocked exceptions, are pretty light on titles, allowing me the time and space to revisit some deserving highlights from bygone months while checking out the latest and greatest from the new calendar. Wait, there's something coming across the teletype in the Bunker — apparently, the war is over! The Falkland Islands are free at last!
Celebrate with new reviews, then some old reviews. Then a drink and possibly a nap.
Yesterday, successful Cincinnati Indie Pop quartet Pomegranates (playing tonight at Brooklyn's Knitting Factory) gave fans an unexpected treat — a new full-length album. The Poms' unannounced In Your Face Thieves/Chestnut Attic was issued on iTunes and other e-retailers and on 12-inch vinyl from the band's original label, Lujo Records. The album project began as a planned 7-inch single but snowballed into a 10-song LP. The unusual title comes from the individual names of the two "fully realized EPs" that make up the release, one per side on the vinyl version. Click above to listen to lead-off track "Softness."
Neon Indian is finally getting ready to release the much-anticipated follow-up to its 2009 breakthrough debut album, Psychic Chasms. The Texas Indie/Electronic band — a MidPoint Indie Summer Series "regular," playing packed shows at Fountain Square's free Friday night concerts this and last year — is dropping Era Extraña on Neon Indian mastermind Alan Palomo's (pictured) own Static Tongues imprint on Sept. 13. Want a sneak peak? Head below and click the widget to receive a link for a free download of the new album track, "Fallout."
New Music Releases Available Now: Promising, trippy Hip Hop/Dance newcomer Theophilus London has released his debut long-player, Timez Are Weird These Days.

I made these for New Year's Eve and while they weren't bad, the liquors really didn't do much for the champagne; you could hardly taste them. I ended up doubling the liquor measurements and that seemed to go a little better. If you have everything on hand it's something a little different, but I wouldn't mess with it otherwise.

got it in Marshalls for super cheap like 9,99 or something, so for the price very lovely perfume! On me its mostly plummy, musky, powdery iris. Simple, but not too plain, as I feel the musky notes give this perfume a little naughty edge:) To me Its quite similar to Ume Keiko Mecheri, but can't beat the price:) 3 lippie as its nothing over the top, decent but nothing outstanding.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Listed notes: Fresh Greens, Cassis, White Iris, and Bronzed Musk
On me: light green edge on slightly powdery iris with warm musk base. Sheer, slightly synthetic, but lovely and crisp. Might be great in summer. Simple, light, easy to wear, but I didn't do cartwheels over it.

7 Years ago I purchased a Star hoc 90mnm-F11 on a GEM mount w/ single drive motor. The motor has directional control and single,2x and4x speed control. The gist of the story is I've been too lazy to use it properly I tend to use it as an alt as scope for grab and go and used it as such for the transit of Venus this June and i was really pleased with the few AP I got. The scope preforms well optically . I'm concerned with its quality. I know that the scope is a GSO
the drive motor has no markings but the hand control is numbered GS280 so I assume GSO also. I also know that mounts are rated 1,2 3 3a,.... Can anyone tell by the Photos which GEM style this seems to fall into
I've taken some shots of the mounts components.
and yes my son's dog ate the mounting ear off the metal housing of the drive motor
rear connections to drive motor
hand control
The scope completely assembled and balanced in alt & az as far as I can tell clutches loose and scope stays in any position I place it.
Power supply
counter balance weight
I would appreciate knowing if this set up would handle short exposure AP < 30 seconds if I can get a good polar alignment it is equipped with a polar alignment scope.
I may have been under estimating the abilities of this scope in favor of my 5i and Hardin DSH 12. I only paid $254.00 for the scope w/ mount, 6x30 finder, drive motor assembly and 3 eyepieces so I figure it's a keeper.
Might as well make a fool of myself here

Yes, if you keep it well balanced, are careful with polar alignment, and keep the focal length reasonably short.
Posted 19 August 2012 - 04:37 PM
I also know that mounts are rated 1,2 3 3a,.... Can anyone tell by the Photos which GEM style this seems to fall into
Well if by "rated" you are talking about some of the common designs then I can tell you that this is not an EQ-1 nor an EQ-2. Beyond that I can not narrow it down too much other then to say it is also not an EQ-5 - perhaps the experts here can chime in on that....
I would appreciate knowing if this set up would handle short exposure AP < 30 seconds if I can get a good polar alignment it is equipped with a polar alignment scope.
This will depend entirely on the focal length used. I can tell you that with poor polar alignments and a very much beat-up old EQ-2 I was able to get reasonable results at very-wide FOV imaging using camera lenses. I would be very surprised if your mount does not perform better then my old EQ-2.
I highly recommend that you do use the mount as a tracking platform to do wide-field AP. Lots of nice big targets out there to be imaged that way!
As for imaging through the scope - hard to say given I do not have any experience with that mount type. I would *guess* that given a good polar alignment you should be able to do at least short (30s) exposures though.
Have fun with it!

Looks to be in the vicinity of an EQ-3.
Posted 19 August 2012 - 06:48 PM
A big thanks to Uncle Rod, falcon and Dan I feel better that the set up looks like it should give me usable results and is worth trying at least some AP. Wish the skies would be clear tonight :cloudy:ain't gonna happen.
Be Well

22.09.04 Though the coming of fall signifies a change in the seasons, there is no change in the philosophy of Goossen Tutor Promotions as the leaves turn color and the temperature drops a few degrees. In fact, the heat gets turned up this week as two of Goossen Tutors finest, James Lights Out Toney and Gentleman Glen Johnson, look to set the boxing world on fire in two high-stakes battles. First, on Thursday, September 23, in a bout to be televised live (8pm and 11pm) on Fox Sports Nets Best Damn Sports Show Period from the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California, Toney (67-4-2, 43 KOs), a three-division world champion and current #1 WBC heavyweight contender, will look to add the IBA and WBC Continental Americas titles to his trophy case when he squares off against unbeaten Rydell Booker (22-0, 12 KOs) in a bout that has seen its share of heated face offs in the days leading up to the opening bell. With the tickets sold out, the fans at home are in for a two-hour coaster ride of fun and fights, two words that normally don't go together in boxing, said Dan Goossen. James is determined to let the fans see and then decide who is the best damn heavyweight in the world today. To top it off, The Best Damn Sports Show Periods on air talent - headed by the always clever (and most of the time crazy) Tom Arnold and unflappable host Chris Rose, along with former basketball great and now funnyman John Salley, and Brian Cox - will give their twist on the nights action, even though they will be sitting closer to the ring then they might prefer. If thats not enough world-class boxing action, on Saturday, September 25, HBOs World Championship Boxing will televise the IBF world light heavyweight championship bout between champion Glen Johnson (40-9-2, 27 KOs) and challenger Roy Jones Jr. (49-2, 38 KOs), live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee. The bout airs live at 7:15pm (PT) / 9:15pm (CT) / 10:15pm (ET). Glen Johnson's journey to the IBF light heavyweight championship has been one of the most memorable stories in my career, said Goossen of Gentleman Glen. Now facing Roy Jones, Jr., a victory pushes Glen into the once forbidden treasures few dared to travel against Jones. Going into Saturday's bout we have three possible holders of the title of best 175 pounder: Antonio Tarver, a young 35 year old; Glen Johnson, a hungry 35 year old; and Roy Jones, Jr. a rich 35 year old. By Sunday morning, the young and hungry should be the only ones left standing.

Lady Colonel doubles team remains alive
Region tournament play begins
HENDERSON, Ky. - Totaling eight points, Henderson County finished a strong second on the first day of the Second Region Girls Tennis Tournament at Hoffman Courts on Monday. But with only one entry still alive, the Lady Colonels will be hard-pressed to gain ground on the tournament leaders.
Sitting in first with 10 points, Caldwell County has one singles player in Wednesday's semifinals and a doubles tandem in the quarterfinals. (Two quarterfinal matches were completed Monday and two will be played Wednesday) A couple points off the lead, Henderson County's hopes rest with the doubles tandem of Lauren Nunez and Brianna Williams, who are one win away from a berth in the semis.
"We're looking for success for them," said Lady Colonels coach Matt Richeson. "If they win (again), that sends them to the semifinals and means they go to state."
Nunez and Williams got a first-round bye Monday, then rolled to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over the Cartwright/Littlepage team from Hopkins Central. They'll meet a Christian County foe in their quarterfinal showdown.
Also tasting doubles victory for Henderson were Emma Newland and Torunn Stuen, who steamrolled to lopsided decision in rounds one and two before dropping a 6-1, 6-4 decision to the No. 1 seed from Lyon County.
The Lady Colonels racked up multiple wins in singles too. In the first round Michelle Duncan took a 6-0, 6-0 triumph over Webster County's Lindsey Oglesby. She got a forfeit win the second round, then fell to Hopkinsville's Erin Engler (6-0, 6-1) in the quarterfinals.
Fellow Lady Colonel Chelsea Mills got a first-round bye, then took a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Josie Armstrong of Lyon County. Mills' day ended with a 6-2, 6-0 loss to Caldwell County's Erin Harper.
"I expected us to do well points-wise," Richeson said. "I was hoping we would get more players to the semifinals but there's a lot of competitive tennis in this region and we're still young."
Tennis action continues today with the opening day of the boys tournament.

The findings shed light on a nagging mystery in neurobiology: why the connections among certain types of neurons contain considerable pools of free zinc ions. And even though many studies had shown that zinc can act toxically on transmission of neural impulses, half a century of experiment researchers had not been able to show conclusively that the metal plays a role in normal nerve cell transmission.
However, in an article in the November 22, 2006, issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press, Heinrich Betz and colleagues conclusively demonstrate just such a role for zinc.
In their experiments, the researchers produced mice harboring a mutant form of a gene for a receptor for zinc in neurons--thereby compromising the neurons' ability to respond to zinc. The mutation in the receptor, called the glycine receptor, targets the same receptor known to be mutated in humans with hyperekplexia. The receptor functions as a modulator of neurons in both motor and sensory signaling pathways in the brain and spinal cord.
The genetic approach used by the researchers was a more targeted technique than previous experiments in which researchers reduced overall neuronal zinc levels using chemicals called chelators that soak up zinc ions.
The resulting mutant mice showed tremors, delayed ability to right themselves when turned over, abnormal gait, altered transmission of visual signals, and an enhanced startle response to sudden noise.

God's Will! Are you in it?
So many of us struggle with the idea of God's will, I can't tell you how many people don't even know what the will of God is! Some say it is a figment of my imagination or that no one knows the will of God. However, you can know the will of God for your life. I was recently reading through John MacArthur's book, "Found: God's Will", and I was pleasantly surprised as to how simple the will of God really is to find in the lives of everyday people. I have struggled with the question of "Am I in God's will?" too many times. I think believers have a preconceived notion or no idea of what God's will is and how to find it in their lives. John MacArthur goes on to explain that the five aspects of the will of God are that you must be saved, Spirit filled, sanctified, submissive and suffering. In this post, I will outline a few details about each part of the will of God.
1. We must be saved.
This seems like an obvious point, but there are many in this world who are looking to be in the "will of God" yet never actually come to know the real God through a personal relationship with His son, Jesus Christ. John MacArthur said, "He was teaching that in order to be related to Him, one has to do the will of God. Turn it around. To do the will of God, one has to be related to Jesus." Every person that wants to find God's will must know Jesus Christ as his or her personal savior. You cannot know God apart of Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus Christ was the living incarnation of God on this earth. To put it bluntly, John MacArthur states, "If you have never committed your life to Jesus Christ, you cannot expect anything at all from God. He owes you nothing. He is not obligated to you in even the slightest sense. People reject this. The doctrine of salvation is unpopular because it includes the recognition of sin. Nobody likes to admit sin. And many people resist the idea that they need to be saved."
2. We must be Spirit filled.
This is such a touchy subject for many and has, in my opinion, divided the body of Christ more than any other theological subject in recent history. Every believer who wants to know and be in the will of God should be Spirit filled and I believe that comes with the acceptance of Jesus Christ into your heart and life. I believe that being Spirit filled means that you fully recognize that Jesus Christ is the source of your life and power and empowers us to tell the world, boldly about Jesus Christ and his saving works.
3. We must be sanctified.
Sanctification is the action in living our lives holy and blameless before the Lord. We cannot know the will of God in our lives if we are not living our lives according to the Word of God and the example of Jesus Christ. The Scripture calls us to be "in the world, but not of the world." (John 17:15-17) To some people who have been looking for the will of God for a long time, this is going to seem quite obvious. John MacArthur says, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification." (1 Thessalonians 4:3) God desires every believer to be sanctified. What does sanctified mean? Let's use the word pure instead." We are called to be pure in the sight of Christ. Christ describes His church, His people to be pure white as snow. We are called to be set apart and sanctified. Our lives should never be a representation of the world. Christ was an extremist when it came to going against the grain of society. Religious practices were the norm of the time and Jesus Christ came to flip religious rules upside down, sometimes even literally.
4. We must be submissive.
Many men reading this discussion post will have a hard time understanding this concept as it is very unpopular among many men living in the United States. Society teaches us "nice guys finish last." Wrong! Jesus was the greatest example of what it meant to live a life of servant hood. He modeled the idea of servant leadership, which is quickly becoming popular in the business world. Submission is not a call to be weak, but a call to submit to authority and to serve the world through your attitude and action. According to John MacArthur, God not only commands our submission to those in authority, but He also clearly tells us the reason. "For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men." (1 Peter 2:15)
MacArthur goes on to say, "We are to live our lives in submission in order that we might be set apart from the standards of society. "It is that God wants us to be the kind of citizens in the world who will draw the attention of the world. We need to be different. We need to have the qualities of salt and light, which involves submission, which is clearly commanded in Scripture."
5. We must suffer.
The last thing most of us would expect when we know we are in the will of God is suffering. I know you may be thinking to yourself what kind of person would subject themselves to any more suffering in this world? There is already enough pain in my life as it is! Suffering is an expected experience we should prepare ourselves for as a believer in Jesus Christ. Christ even mentioned to His disciples that you (believers) will be hated by the world for their belief in Jesus Christ (Mark 13:13) Paul said, "I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions." (Colossians 1:24)
John MacArthur said, "They do not persecute Christians because they dislike them; they persecute Christians because they dislike Jesus. They can't get at Him because He is in heaven, so they get at you and me." If Jesus had to go to the cross, we should expect the same thing. The early church considered martyrdom a joy and if you were not martyred for the sake of Jesus Christ, you were not considered a real Christ follower. Fortunately, in America, we have our religious freedom that many Christians around the world do not have. Suffering is a natural part of the life of every believer. Paul said, "I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus" (Galatians 6:17). In response to that, John MacArthur said, "These scars over here— these were not for me. They were for Jesus, but I took them for Him! Are you willing to suffer for Jesus, who suffered for you? Are you willing to confront the world? That is the will of God."
I believe that if you can honestly say that you have met all five S's (saved, Spirit filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering), the will of God is simply this: do whatever you would like! Isn't that shocking?
But the truth is that being saved, Spirit filled, sanctified, submissive, and suffering qualifies us to be in God's will. The rest of that is what God has put in your heart to step out and do for His Kingdom! If you feel called to be a missionary in Africa, do it! If you are feeling called to plant a church, do it! You are already in the will of God, and now its time to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in your lifetime. Step out in faith and take the greatest adventure of your life. Live your life in the Will of God today. Sometimes, it amazes me at what God could and will do if we just get out of the way. As Bono said best, "Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed."

What Disney Wonder shows are not to be missed?!
Our family will be on the 5 night Wonder Western Caribbean out of Miami in three weeks. :jumping1: My question for you fellow disers is, what shows would your family say are the "not to be missed shows" on the Wonder? The show line up (from previous navigators for this same cruise) looks like it will be "All Aboard! Let the Magic Begin", "The Golden Mickeys", "Toy Story", "Magic & Illusion of Scott Pepper," & "Disney Dreams".
Our first cruise was on the Magic and while we enjoyed most of the shows, there were one or two that we felt like we could have skipped. We felt like between the lengthy dinners in the MDR and trying to attend all of the shows, most of our evening was a race against the clock of trying to get from one place to another. We would like to be a little more relaxed this time and we are thinking that one way to do this is too miss out on 1 - 2 of the evening shows. We also will have DS2 with us so I know that some of these might not be all that entertaining for him. TIA :thanks: |
I could miss the All Aboard but don't miss Disney Dreams! That was my favorite.
I would probably miss All Aboard or Toy Story.
The All Aboard show is basically previews of coming attractions, so it's not necessary.
The staging of Toy Story and all the over-size toys is great, but we did get tired of Sid's screeching. Scott Pepper alternates between the Magic, Wonder, and an occasional RCCL show, so he may or may not be on your cruise. DCL changes performers more often than they change the musical production numbers. |
I would suggest skipping Toy Story. It's such a let down compared to the other wonderful shows on board. It made me feel sad. I personally like the All Aboard show. It helps set the mood for the cruise.
You can't tell who the entertainer will be from past navigators because that changes frequently. If by any chance Mike Super, Magic Dave or the balloon artist guy are performing don't miss them. |
I found Toy Story very good, but welcome aboard poor.
After seeing Toy Story 3 times, we're done with it. We only saw it 3 times because the first two time there were technical problems delaying the show, and I wanted to be able to see it straight through. Like jdb, we found Sid's screeching hard to take, a lot like nails on a chalkboard. We will never miss Golden Mickey's or Dreams when onboard, love them both. |
I would definately skip Toy Story the Musical. I can generally sit through anything and on my recent B2B on the Wonder (14 days), I can say we sat through it all twice EXCEPT Toy Story. I actually wanted to leave after the first 20 minutes. Gets really drawn out IMHO.
The first nights is yes, a preview. But it has non-Disney acts that perform a little bit. That is pretty good. Do not miss Disney Dreams. I believe it is the best Disney offers on the DCL. |
We sailed for the first and only time on the Wonder in Nov 2011 and it was all those shows. How often do they get changed? One of the reasons I was bummed about the fact that we are taking our second cruise on the Wonder is the fact we have already seen the shows.
This is great info. We'll be going on the same 5 day Western Caribbean 5 day cruise in early Feb. Good to know what not to miss. Thanks for the post & everyone's opinions!

I've got a few Lodi trees that have done very well and bear annually. unfortunately I'm not all that wild about the apples. If I take grafts from a preferred tree that only bears every other year will the grafts bear annually? as always thx for info and advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mark, biennialism in apples is not so much a genetic trait (although some varieties seem prone to it, it's true) as a cultural one. Your new branches from a favored tree should be well-behaved if you manage them well. First off, thin your tree ruthlessly. On my Liberty I have to thin five or six apples from each cluster to get down to one apple, and then I often remove half of the remaining apples. Second, thin early- right after fruit set. I think some people even remove some of the blossoms before fruit set. I hope that helps. Good luck, Mark |
Grafting a biennial bearer onto an annual bearer won't change bearing habit. You'll need to do as Mark suggests in order to get apples every year. Or at least to improve chances of annual bearing. |

Mark Clattenburg complaint takes Chelsea's focus away from pitch
Chelsea have much more to contend with this week than simply matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool.
Players, coaching staff and administrators from the London club will also face visits from both Football Association and Metropolitan Police investigators as the two organisations probe what was or was not said by referee Mark Clattenburg when the Blues lost to Manchester United in a Premier League game at Stamford Bridge on 28 October.
Those discussions will decide whether Clattenburg should be charged after complaints he used "inappropriate language" towards Chelsea's Nigeria international midfielder John Mikel Obi.
Clattenburg timeline
- 5 Nov: Clattenburg misses second weekend
- 2 Nov: Clattenburg row 'taking too long'
- 31 Oct: Chelsea lodge Clattenburg protest
- 31 Oct: Ref dialogue 'should be audible'
- 29 Oct: Chelsea make Clattenburg claim
- 29 Oct: Ref Clattenburg 'is not a racist'
- 29 Oct: Assistants 'key' for Clattenburg
- 28 Oct: Officials ruined game - Di Matteo
- 28 Oct: Chelsea 2-3 Man Utd
With the FA under pressure to avoid the extended, drawn-out nature of the John Terry racism controversy, the intention is that the very final witness interview to be conducted - Clattenburg's - will take place at the end of this week or the beginning of next.
Having spent Monday in talks with his employers, the Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO), about a possible return to refereeing this weekend, Clattenburg was described to me by someone close to him as "sanguine" about the joint decision to sit out a second match.
My understanding is that the official intends to return to action the following weekend, even if he is charged.
Given the apparent lack of video evidence and reliance on witness statements, a criminal charge is regarded by those supporting him as very unlikely but the possibility of an FA charge is harder to predict.
Newcastle-based Clattenburg, who refereed his first Football League match as a 25-year-old in 2000, has two distinct careers on the line:
- His refereeing, culminating in his dream of officiating at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
- His ambition to become a lawyer, for which he has been studying part-time since 2008, when he was suspended by the PGMO following allegations concerning business debts.
But there is much at stake for Chelsea this week, too.
The backlash against the club will only intensify if no charges are brought against Clattenburg. The PGMO has even been forced to deny rumours that referees will boycott future Chelsea games as a mark of solidarity with their colleague.
Remember what happened the last time the club helped the authorities with an inquiry, following allegations their captain had racially insulted an opponent during a game.
Having found Terry guilty of abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, the damning findings of an independent regulatory commission were that his defence had "no credible basis", with his evidence described as "improbable, implausible and contrived".
Who is Mark Clattenburg?
"Whether handing out red cards or promoting hair-restoring products, Clattenburg has been no stranger to the limelight since taking charge of his first Football League game as a 25-year-old in 2000."
Then Chelsea were forced to defend their secretary, David Barnard, after his version of events was described by the same commission as "materially defective" due to his role in the "evolution" of left-back Ashley Cole's evidence to the FA.
This time Chelsea are the accuser rather than the accused but the answers they give to the questions they are asked this week will be under intense scrutiny.
Their conduct during the Terry crisis is irrelevant in the eyes of the law and will be quite rightly disregarded by both the FA and police when examining the Clattenburg case.
But it helps explain why the club has come under such fierce attack within the game and beyond for pursuing a course of action which, when viewed objectively, they had little choice over.
The club received a complaint from a player, with reports naming him as Brazil midfielder Ramires. After that, it was duty-bound to inform the match delegate and then, after a more thorough investigation, the FA through a formal complaint.
Given the pressure football is under right now from Government to apply zero-tolerance to any suspicion of racial discrimination, it is fascinating that Chelsea's decision to proceed - and to be open about the nature of the case after a thorough internal inquiry headed up by a lawyer from the Queen's Counsel - has been met with such distrust and disdain.
Clattenburg's card record
- 2012-13 - Games: 9; Yellows: 40; Reds 4
- 2011-12 - Games: 36; Yellows: 115; Reds: 8
- 2010-11 - Games 40; Yellows: 123; Reds 7
- 2009-10 - Games: 42; Yellows: 105; Reds: 5
However, once again, it is down to context. Many view Chelsea's complaint not in isolation, but in the aftermath of a bitter defeat to United that night. The dissent and fury directed at Clattenburg before the final whistle leads some to suspect that the subsequent complaint would never have happened if the result had been different. That, remarkable as it may sound, it was the ultimate form of sour grapes.
There is also the context of previous fall-outs between Chelsea and referees. In 2005, Uefa called then-manager Jose Mourinho "the enemy of football" after he criticised Swedish referee Anders Frisk following a Champions League tie. Frisk later retired after receiving death threats.
In 2006, Chelsea accused Graham Poll of saying the club "needed to be taught a lesson" when he gave them six yellow cards in a match against Tottenham. Terry was later charged and fined with improper conduct over the allegations.
But it must make some anti-racism campaigners despair that the club's complaint is viewed with such scepticism - and that many want Chelsea punished if charges are not brought. Ultimately, Chelsea were well within their rights to make an allegation if a player was convinced he'd witnessed something untoward.
Their problem is what had come before, both in the months and minutes leading up to that moment.

7th November 2012 - 18:49This article is tainted with Dan's characteristic anti-Chelsea prejudice. You need to read his previous articles. I suggest every writer should state the club they support in order to judge their objectivity. A good professional will ordinarily outgrow club jingoism, but i doubt Dan belongs to that exalted tribe
Comment number 637.
7th November 2012 - 18:26@636: I am happy people like you are no good for nothing. Saying the same thing in all posts with the assurance of someone who knows Clattenburg more than his wife.
Comment number 636.
7th November 2012 - 17:10@635 This issue, which is Racism, should not as the article suggests be dealt with behind closed doors.
But all concerned should be certain that Racism did occur before making accusations. Once an accusation has been made it cannot be un-made.
Which is why this matter must be dealt with in the open to ensure that the mud sticks to the right people. And that we all know who they are.

Painter in 1950.
